Pumpkin Pickin'





Monday afternoon we spent some time searching for perfect pumpkins at White's. Every time Christopher sees his pumpkin on the front step he says, "my". Guess he's particular about his pumpkins!

Words

Christopher's vocabulary just exploded this last week or so...I assume the move/change sparked some interest in communication. Here are a few of his words:

ocks= socks or rocks
uck= truck
thank you (VERY clear!)
doggy/dog
Tiggy (the dog's name...she's important to him)
mama (yay!)
bees= please (He used to say "pete".)
inky/tinky= stinky (when he needs a change...and then says "thank you" when we're finished)
shoes
bye
no!
shh=fish
baby (every time he sees his own photos)
prayer (and has to fold his arms and kneel)
hot (and blows on whatever)
jssh= juice
me/my
uppy= pick me up/it's up there
there (when he gives us or the dog something)

He still signs, but he is quickly replacing them with words. He asks several times a day for a cookie...but he means a dog biscuit, so he signs "dog" and "cookie". Pretty funny!
